In this episode, we delve into the enigmatic realm of UFO abductions, focusing particularly on how they unfold  in France. Since the groundbreaking Betty and Barney Hill incident in 1961, the phenomenon of UFO abductions has captured public fascination, although it remains contentious within ufology. We confront two primary challenges: the surreal nature of abduction accounts, often involving inexplicable experiences like missing time, and the reliance on eyewitness testimony, which introduces inherent complexities.

Despite these hurdles, exploring the abduction phenomenon unveils a fascinating psychological landscape. Our guest, Hélène Lansley, a Clinical Psychologist and Ph.D. student at the University of Lorraine, brings valuable insights from her research. Hélène's work involves analysing accounts of UAP and alien abductions, as well as providing support to individuals who report paranormal encounters through her role at CIRCEE (Center for Information, Research, and Consultation on Exceptional Experiences).

Join us as we navigate the intricate terrain of UFO abductions, probing the intersection of extraterrestrial encounters and human psychology.
